Chapter 504: I'll Give You a CD from the Past
After the Spring Festival, Min Rou is getting engaged. She was about to return to the United States to participate in the performance, and there was no time to return to Hong Kong City, so the two families met in Beijing.
Although in the eyes of the public, Wei Chenglin is the most well-known person in Hong Kong City at this stage, Wei Chenglin modestly said that Song Minrou's influence is much greater than his. He is also a little well-known in China, but Song Minrou is a "young pianist" certified by an international authoritative organization. Not only did she join a top orchestra, but she also substituted at a prestigious art college, and she was young and promising, and her influence should not be underestimated.
Qiao Lin has known since she was a child that this cousin is the dragon and phoenix among people, so there is nothing to be jealous of. She doesn't like Min Rou, not only because of her arrogant personality, but also because she has long forgotten that she is from Hong Kong. In many interviews, she is a brush-off of her hometown, similar to "the vast beach, the salty sea breeze" and the like, but other than that, she has no other impression of her hometown.
Whenever Jolene was more serious about this, her family always laughed at her for being too harsh. Min Rou has been in Hong Kong City for a few years, and if she sends a package to her family, she may not even be able to write the exact address, so why should she be harsh on her love for her hometown?
Jolene still can't understand that after living outside for so long, "hometown" is always the most tender place in her heart. In particular, the port city has a blue sea and blue sky, and there is a simple and pure beauty, as an artist, how can Min Rou not like it?
"We should broaden our horizons, the development of society to the present, not all artists love nature, when they see the mountains and rivers, they write hundreds of poems in one breath like Li Bai...... Many modern poets were born in cities, and they only feel intimate when they see the city made of reinforced concrete, but they don't have much resonance with the 'countryside' that we are accustomed to. Their creative styles are different, and we can only interpret them with a calm mind. β
This is a passage that Xu Na once said, and every time she listens to her, Qiao Lin will always be stunned. Maybe these words are also suitable for Song Minrou! She has a big city physique, unlike herself, she is nostalgic for the small seaside town that is not too big and not too prosperous wherever she goes.
My aunt said a long time ago that Min Rou was going to marry a large family in the capital. Qiao Lin asked her brother-in-law, do you know that family? Liang Zheng thought for a while and said, "There are more rich people, and I am not from that circle, so I have never heard of it." If you ask my sister, she is fooling rich people to throw money. β
Don't look at Liang's father complaining about Liang Hui all day long, in fact, people's ability to make money is still very good. Mrs. Liang once said her daughter's deeds in a few words: "I studied casually in college, followed her uncle for two years after graduation, and then began to sell cloth abroad, selling and selling magazines...... Later, I bought a house and tinkered with antiques...... Married and divorced, we don't know how much money she has. β
Mrs. Liang was really hearty, and it was the first time Jolene had heard an old lady say this about her daughter. If you standardize it according to the format of your resume, you can probably write it like this: "Liang Hui graduated from a university of economics and business in her early years, and after graduation, she entered a well-known private enterprise for an internship. After setting up his own door, at the end of the 90s of the last century, he started a cloth foreign trade business. After earning the first pot of gold, he and his friends bought a fashion magazine and entered the fashion circle. He has a discerning investment eye and bought several properties in his early years. With excellent art appreciation, he has a foothold in the collectibles industry. After marrying the major shareholder of a domestic film company, but the marriage did not last long, after the divorce, in addition to sharing a huge amount of property, she also obtained extremely valuable network resources in the film industry. β
Look, if you say that, doesn't it seem a lot taller?
Qiao Lin didn't like Liang Hui at first, because she, like Min Rou, had eyes on the top of her head and always looked down on people, and she was worried that Liang Hui would bully her sister. But after a long period of contact, she found that Liang Hui was very good except for not talking too much. Hearty and atmospheric, especially when Wang Chao was taken away at the wedding, it made her feel very happy, Liang Hui is indeed the kind of big sister who has super aura.
But about Min Rou's fiancΓ©, it is impossible for Qiao Lin to ask Liang Hui. The aunt will not deceive people, and Min Rou also has enough capital to marry into such a family. So there's no need to ask, and she doesn't care. To be honest, they have nothing to do other than being nominal cousins, right?
No, at least they still have a relationship of contempt and disgust.
When she returned to China this time, Song Minrou heard about some things at home. For so many years, she still misses Qiao Nan a lot, and when she heard that he went to Africa for peacekeeping, she was also worried: "I have also been to Africa and went there to do charity." Even though I was accompanied by security guards, I was scared. Brother Qiao Nan went to such a dangerous place, and he didn't know if something would happen. β
Li Lanlan immediately told her to shut up: "Qiao Nan's second child is about to come out, you are not allowed to worry about him anymore!"
Hearing that Qiao Lu married into a wealthy family, she was very unconvinced: "Tubaozi's family, can also climb such a high branch? If it weren't for people's second marriage, it is estimated that they would not look down on her." β
Fortunately, Qiao Lin didn't hear this, otherwise she would definitely have another big fight with Min Rou. The aunt also told her daughter that Qiao Lu is very powerful, marrying into such a family, she is not wronged at all, and she is harmonious with her husband, and her in-laws also treat her as a daughter.
Hearing "in-laws", Min Rou had a real sense of getting married, and from then on, she had to deal with the relationship between the two families. Thinking of her future in-laws, she was very irritable and didn't want to get married at all.
"Min Rou, your father...... It's been a hard time lately, so you just obediently tie the knot, don't worry about the two of us. β
Recently, Li Lanlan has always put this sentence on her lips, which makes Min Rou feel even more devastated. She showed her affection in a high-profile manner, announcing to the world how happy she was, and if the marriage didn't work out, her face would hurt. What's more, she now has to think not only about herself, but also about the entire Song family.
It's really difficult, she just wants to hide back in the United States, to escape the shortcomings, trivialities, and interests of these parents.
When Song Minrou came back, she did not contact her relatives in Beijing, but invited Wei Chenglin to have dinner together. Wei Chenglin said that she was going to get married, and she was going to eat alone with a boy, isn't that okay?
"Oh, I want to be beautiful, who wants to eat with you alone? I'm having a reunion with my classmates from the former high school, if you have time, come here!"
So, Wei Chenglin said very sincerely that he didn't have time. Think about it, you know, where can you say that there is a schedule for a popular singer?
Of course, Wei Chenglin didn't say the latter paragraph, but he was still sneered at by Song Minrou: "The big singer is really busy, and he doesn't even look at his old friends." Forget it, forget it, my little face is worthless to you. β
Wei Chenglin was scolded inexplicably, he just told the truth. In desperation, he had no choice but to promise Song Minrou, saying that he would adjust the time. Song Minrou said lukewarmly: "I didn't ask you, you said it yourself." β
Alas, whatever she says, she has a reason anyway. Wei Chenglin didn't go to see her, mainly to avoid suspicion. has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he still has this bit of proportion. Originally, he was quite shy about eating alone with girls, not to mention that Song Minrou was about to become a married woman?
Ah, you must pay attention, I am afraid that the moment he says the word "woman", Song Minrou will be able to make him lose his soul on the spot.
On the day of her reunion with her classmates, Wei Chenglin showed up very late. Known as a "big singer" by a group of musicians, Wei Chenglin didn't know if they were sincere or burying themselves. But he didn't care, he just saw Min Rou and sent her blessings.
At the first sight of Wei Chenglin, Song Minrou still unceremoniously carried out the blow, saying that after so many years, he was still a teenager who killed Matt, and his artistic taste had not improved at all.
Wei Chenglin smiled and didn't speak, he had a small braid a few years ago, which was forcibly cut off by his mother. He's just a life that doesn't remember to eat, anyway, his mother can't say he can't move now, and he doesn't care what other people say.
Wei Chenglin said that he didn't know what to give her, if he gave her a necklace and ring, those things were too ambiguous, I was afraid that her boyfriend would also misunderstand; if he gave her a bunch of chickens, ducks and fish according to the customs of Hong Kong City, or a new quilt and a new mattress, or sent some colorful dumplings, I am afraid she would slap him to death.
Song Minrou almost laughed and vomited, and ordered Wei Chenglin not to tell any more jokes.
"So, after thinking about it, I'll give you a CD. Wei Chenglin said: "I collected some of the more unpopular piano pieces and engraved them on a plate, which is very suitable for playing at weddings. Some of them you may have heard, and I don't know if you will dislike them - alas, forget it, this gift is too shabby, I'd better think again. β
"I won't dislike it!" Song Minrou hurriedly grabbed the disc and said, "This is the best gift." β
"Really?" Wei Chenglin scratched his non-mainstream hair and smiled like a fool.
Talking about her boyfriend, Song Minrou is no longer as radiant as before, she said that during the period of preparing for the engagement, they quarreled many times, and they were very tired of each other. Perhaps, falling in love is a fairy tale, and when it comes to marriage, it is reality.
Wei Chenglin hesitated again and again and asked, "Maybe you will beat me, but I still have to dare to ask-do you really love him?"
Song Minrou lit a cigarette, the curling smoke covered her face, and when the smoke was about to burn out, she said, "It should be...... Love!"
"That's it, as long as there is love, there is nothing that can't be overcome. β
Song Minrou smoked cigarettes one after another and did not answer again. At the moment when Wei Chenglin was about to say goodbye, she held her head in distress: "Wei Chenglin, this marriage ...... I really don't want to end it. β
